Syenite MCP quick start: first tool call in 5 minutes

Add the Syenite MCP server and run one tool. No API key. Works in Cursor, Claude Desktop, and any MCP client.

1. Add the MCP server

Endpoint: https://syenite.ai/mcp. Rate limit: 30 requests per minute per IP.

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add server. Use this config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "syenite": {
      "url": "https://syenite.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Same JSON in your Claude Desktop MCP config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json).

2. Call syenite.help

The syenite.help tool takes no arguments. It returns service info, a list of tools, supported chains, and yield sources. Use it to confirm the connection and discover tools.

In Cursor or Claude, ask: "Call the syenite.help tool" or "What tools does Syenite expose?" The model will call syenite.help and show you the response.

3. Call lending.rates.query

Parameters:

Example: ask "What are current USDC borrow rates for wBTC collateral on Aave, Morpho, and Spark?" The agent will call lending.rates.query with collateral: "wBTC", borrowAsset: "USDC" and return real-time rates.
